Parker's par-tay!

Parker's first birthday party just ended . . .  Lots of kids, fun and food.  Thanks to everyone that came! Here are some photos:

Fun with Aunt Amy and bubbles!

snacking . . .

"cheese!!!" Nolan and Victoria

I love this photo . . .  Gracie looks SO annoyed, Ellie is in the back trying to get someone's attention, Bodi is just sitting on Nolan's chair and Jake and Parker just look happy to be playing.

Gaga, Parker, Mema and Aunt Pamela

Gracie is ready for cake!

Nolan just fed his dinosaur some cake

Aunt Pamela and Parker

Monkey cakes . . .  I was quite proud of these!

Parker wasn't so sure about his . . .

He eventually got used to the idea of eating it though :)

and needed a bath before presents

Chaos ensued once it was time for presents

And continued throughout gift opening

Gracie promptly tried on Parker's new swim trunks

Helen, Parker and Nolan playing after the party

And now I'm going to go lay down.  Or have a snack.  Or both.

Parker . . .

I am way behind on updating the blog.  Last weekend we had Parker's first birthday and the Fourth of July.  This coming weekend we have Parker's birthday party and I still haven't posted pics from my nephew's bday party when I was in Mass . . .  In the meantime, here is a picture of Parker doing one of my favorite new things of his . . .  he throws a ball then looks totally shocked/ecstatic/surprised . . .  You can't tell me this kid isn't cute . . .
